Ventilation Solutions for Healthier Homes

As more Australians look to create comfortable, energy-efficient homes, the way our spaces breathe has never been more important. While beautiful finishes and open-plan layouts define modern design, a truly great home also delivers clean, quiet, and healthy air for everyday living.

That’s where Schweigen comes in - a 100% Australian-owned company redefining how homes manage air and sound pollution. Founded in 2007, Schweigen set out to solve a common problem: the noise and inefficiency of traditional rangehoods. The solution was intuitively simple - move the motor away from earshot.

This innovation became the Schweigen Isodrive® Motor System, a suite of external and inline motors that have forever changed domestic ventilation.

Why Homeowners Love the Isodrive® Advantage

The German-engineered Isodrive® motor is mounted away from the cooktop - either externally of the home, or along ductwork in the bulkhead, attic or ceiling space. This provides measurable advantages:

  • Silent Operation: Relocating the motor removes the dominant source of kitchen noise, letting you enjoy peace and conversation while cooking.
  • Powerful Extraction: Powerful motors pull cooking exhaust out in one seamless action to the outdoors - capturing and expelling smoke, steam, odours and airborne grease before they spread through your home.
  • Energy Efficient: Uses up to 50% less energy than standard rangehoods, saving on running costs.
  • Stylish & Flexible Design: Choose from a range of sleek, modern styles to suit your kitchen design and workflow - from hidden undermounts to stately wallmounts, hanging islands, and elegant ceiling cassettes.
  • Built for Durability: BAL-40 certified by the CSIRO for use in bushfire zones, and comes bundled with free Schweigen SteelFlex™ safety ducting that’s fireproof, pest-proof, and guaranteed for life.

With its silent power and efficiency, the Isodrive® system is trusted in thousands of kitchens  - and it’s just the beginning of Schweigen’s commitment to healthier homes

Fresh Air Beyond the Kitchen

Your kitchen isn’t the only place that needs great ventilation. Bathrooms, laundries, and other wet areas can trap moisture, leading to mould and poor air quality over time.
